Festival paella catering near Bredgar
About our festival paella catering in Bredgar
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for farmers’ and Christmas markets and school and charity events.
Rural events near Bredgar can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Bredgar
Is Bredgar close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Bredgar?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Bredgar?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bredgar is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
